New Years Eve.
The Letter.
-Charlotte's POV-
2 weeks after Charlotte's birthday - February 6th.
I rolled my suitcases towards the door after showering and changing as quietly as I could. I checked I had everything.
-Ticket
-Purse
-Phone
-Charger
-Luggage.
Everything I'd bought with me. I sent a text to Lydia explaining the situation… I knew she'd hate me after this. For leaving her here and 'over-reacting' will probably be her choice of words, but the way I see it, if she does hate me she was never a true friend.
I checked the time… just enough time to make it to the airport, check in and grab a coffee.
I inhaled deeply before leaving the apartment and locking the door behind me, before pushing the key back through the door with the envelope.
"Goodbye New York." I whispered softly. Not letting the tears out that were threatening to fall.
-Niall's POV-
I woke up in an empty bed.
Something was off this morning, but I couldn't quite tell what.
I called out for Charlotte but no reply came. I got up and walk through the lounge towards the kitchen when I noticed a letter by the front door.
It was addressed to me.
"Dear Niall,
This is the hardest thing i've ever had to do, so I don't want you to think that this was a quick 5 second decision, because it definitely wasn't.
I've learnt a lot in my 19 years of life, but one thing that definitely changed when I met you was my views on love.
I never believed in love. I thought it was just something unhappy people say to give them something to look forwards to.
When we first shook hands I felt the spark and I know you did to. But, I guess a love like that always gets ruined somehow right?
I know you're thinking i'm a coward for doing this over paper instead of face to face and I couldn't agree more. But, if I was to see your face one more time I'd never be writing this. I'd be attaching my lips to yours and locking my hands around your neck and never wanting to let go.
But, that's not realistic.
'Life gets in the way of everything' people say, but it's not life that gets in the way, it's stupid mistakes... and lord knows I've made my fair share of those.
This letter being one of them but, you have to know that this is the right thing for all three of us.
I'm so sorry that you probably hate me now, even though i'll love you for the rest of my life, but this is better.
This is how it had to be.
I'm sorry that last night I told you I loved you, i'm sorry that I kissed you like I did when I knew what I had to do, and I'm sorry that you ever met me because I ruin everything I touch: fact.
I'm so sorry Niall.
This apartment is payed for until February the 30th since we decided to rent it for longer, you're welcome to stay, unless it brings back to many bad memories or something, then you can leave… I really don't mind what you do.
I've taken all my stuff and permitting you get up after 6am (which you and I both know is likely - you love sleep) i'll already be on my flight home.
So, you probably should know the reason i'm leaving…
I'm pregnant.
You're probably thinking 'wow, that's great, run of with my child.", i'm not that heartless Ni…
I'm 4 weeks along, so it goes without saying that Harry is the Dad.
I don't need to talk about 'that' now, we've been over this before… that was then and this is now, but I thought you had a right to know.
I love you more than anything Niall, and you promised to love me and never let anything bad happen to me, and I still promise to make you keep that promise, so even if we can't stay in contact or be friends, don't you ever say that I just walked away, because I will always want you.
Just remember what you said on my birthday; "Whatever happens, i'll always love you."
Goodbye Niall.
C"
I leant against the door and slid down it, couching my knees tightly to my chest and cried.
I wasn't normal one to let my emotion get the better of me, but I guess when you're girlfriend who you'd fallen completely in love with ran off with your best mates foetus inside of you, I'm pretty sure you'd cry too.
